Viral Action of Fraud in Mosque through QRIS Stickers, This is How to Detect Safe Payments

Dream - Fraud with the modus operandi of replacing QRIS has occurred in several mosques. In CCTV footage from a mosque, a man can be seen attaching QRIS to the donation box of several mosques in Jakarta.

One of the recordings was uploaded by the Instagram account @lensa_berita_jakarta. It is suspected that the QRIS or QR Code with the name Restorasi Masjid written on it contains the perpetrator's bank account number.

The police have been investigating the actions of the man in the recording who committed fraud with a similar modus operandi in several places of worship.

Nevertheless, as a society, we also need to know whether a QRIS is safe to scan, which is by verifying the accuracy of the QR Code before making a payment.

Quoting the website of the Indonesian Payment System Association (ASPI), aspi-indonesia.or.id, the checking can be done through the PJSP (Payment System Service Provider) application authorized according to the instructions of each PJSP.

It is known that the PJSP application already has security features that can detect and prevent transactions to fake merchants.

After scanning QRIS, it is also necessary to check whether the merchant's name displayed in the payment application is the same as the one listed on the QRIS label.

If there is any suspicion of fraud or issues in conducting transactions, immediately contact the relevant PJSP.

Therefore, it is highly recommended to be cautious when conducting transactions using QRIS, and make sure to scan QRIS from a trusted source.
